Season finale! Already through 2 seasons, and man do I have to say that I’m loving this show again. I’d really forgotten how great it was, and just focused on how bad it got. And now I’m remembering why I was obsessed with this show growing up. It’s […]
Ah, here’s a story I relate to. The perils of collecting comic books! We start the episode off having Marge drive Bart and Lisa to a comic convention. And let me tell you, comic-con’s are fun. I’ve only been to the Denver one, but it’s a blast to […]
Another episode about Homer and Marge’s marriage being in trouble. For as solid as their marriage seems, they sure do have it tested a lot. We start right off with Homer and Marge preparing for a dinner party with all their friends, and they’re getting freaked out. Dinner […]
Another classic Lisa episode. Man, I really forgot how consistently great Lisa episodes were. Season 2 definitely had more emotional episodes than 1, but they kept with having one strong Lisa episode. I’m thinking that that may be how the show will work for the next few seasons […]
We’ve just reached a pretty momentous occasion everyone. The first really big guest star. I feel like I usually heard the creators on the commentaries say that it was Dustin Hoffman or Michael Jackson that really proved they were a legitimate show that could nab big guest stars, […]
Oof. Here’s a depressing kick in the gut. I love Grandpa Simpson so much. He’s so loud and unpleasant. And this is his first chance to really shine. This season has been making baby steps in branching away from the direct family, letting more ancillary characters get their […]
I feel like this episode should have been the season closer to make a sort of symmetry with the opener being called “Bart Gets an F.” Plus they’re kind of the same story, but in this case a little more emotional for me, because as a kid I […]
Oh man, secret long-long siblings. The Simpsons became a soap-opera so slowly we didn’t even notice. Let’s get right in. We start off with more McBain goodness. I would love to watch a whole McBain movie, and not that cobbled together one I mentioned last time. It’s so […]
Ah, the uncomfortable horror of setting family members up! This was a pretty sad episode actually. I’ve noticed the trend in this show that if the episode is about a certain character, everyone else acts very different. Every episode up until now has had Patty and Selma be […]
Well, here’s another heavy morality episode. As cynical as the Simpsons seems to be towards religion, they really like to look at the morals of Christianity. And this is a great example of one of those stories. We start off in Biblical times, where some ancestor of Homer […]
